Muqarnas Pavilion
Muqarnas Pavilion
200x480cm, Tulipwood, Oak and Cast-stone
2013
This pavilion was created by Joachim as his degree project at the Prince“s School of Traditional Arts, London.
The Pavilion is inspired by Moroccan architecture, especially the Muqarnas, the three-dimensional geometric pattern that forms the inside of the dome, is based on traditional design principles as they can be found in Moroccan palaces and in the Alhambra in Spain. The Muqarnas dome consists of more than 3000 pieces of wood, all hand carved and assembled without nails or screws, just by means of wooden joints.
For this project and the research that went along with it, Joachim was rewarded the Barakat Price by HRH, The Prince of Wales.
